APTA Legislative Conference Will Not Be Held Due to Coronavirus ConcernsThe annual Legislative meeting was scheduled for March in D.C.

WASHINGTON (March 11, 2020) – The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) today announced that its Legislative Conference, scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. from March 15-17, will not be held as planned.

APTA’s top priority is the health and safety of our members and the health and safety of the communities they serve. This decision allows public transportation leaders to stay in their communities where they can focus on the health and safety of their riders and employees while continuing to provide safe and efficient transportation for the millions of Americans who rely on public transit.

APTA continues to monitor federal legislative action and its impact on public transportation on behalf of the industry. The association is considering alternatives and potential avenues through which to reschedule, relocate or redesign this conference for later in 2020.
